Oxford, ME (10/15) -
Scott Mulkern roared from the back
of a 34 car field to claim the lead
and the win in Saturday's Pro All
Stars Series (PASS) North 150 at
Oxford (ME) Plains Speedway. Travis
Benjamin led much of the way but had
to settle for the runner up spot,
and DJ Shaw raced home third in the
PASS North season finale, cut short
at lap 118 due to rain.

Joey
Pole and Brian Hoar led the field to
the green and Pole jumped out front
early. Hoar took over from laps 29
through 70 but Benjamin was rumbling
up through the field and he wrestled
the lead away from Hoar on lap 70.

At the half way mark it was
Benjamin, Hoar, Joey Doiron, Shaw
and Mulkern in the top five and it
was clear that Mulkern was on a
mission, gaining 20 spots in the
first 75 laps. He was racing second
by lap 100 and out front on lap 102
but Benjamin battled back,
reclaiming the lead until Mulkern
made his way past Benjamin on the
bottom for good on lap 112. The
showers came six laps later and
despite every effort to get the race
back under way, the persistent rains
forced series officials to call it a
race on lap 118.

25 of the 34
starters were scored on the lead
lap; six minor cautions slowed the
action. Mulkern's margin of victory
was .816 seconds.

41 teams
attempted to make the 34 car
starting field. DJ Shaw, Brian Hoar,
and Joey Pole won the qualifiers;
Mulkern won the consolation round.

Johnny Clark raced home fourth
to cap off a remarkable season that
saw the defending series champ earn
7 wins and 13 Top 5 finishes in
fourteen starts. The result was more
than enough to give Clark and his
team a sixth PASS North title, his
fourth in a row. Lonnie Sommerville
overcame a qualifying race parts
failure to finish seventh, enough to
earn second in the standings and Ben
Rowe's twelfth place run kept the
four time PASS North champion third
in the final tally.

PASS
North will celebrate the 2011 season
on Friday evening, November 4 at the
Howard Johnson's Convention Center
in Portland, Maine. All the details

Oxford ME (10/15) It was
Champions Day at Oxford Plains
Speedway for all three Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) North racing series
Saturday, and Andy Shaw (PASS Mods)
and Carey Martin (PASS Sportsman)
both claimed their respective
divisions championship in style by
winning their season finales.

For Shaw it was a fitting end to
a dominant season. The Center Conway
NH racer's 2011 record is enviable;
10 starts, 7 wins and 9 top five
finishes kept Shaw on top of the
standings all season long, and moved
him to the top of the PASS Mod
record book as the division's
winning-est driver.

Ron Henry
looked like he had a shot at victory
in the early going. Henry took off
and left the field in his dust with
Dana Reed and Travis Buzzell giving
chase. But Shaw was on the move,
passing his Uncle Dale for 4th on
lap 15, Buzzell for 3rd on lap 18
and on lap 21 the defending series
champ was second. Three laps later
he took over the top spot and set
sail. It was Shaw by a straightaway
at the checkers with Ron Henry in
the runner up spot and Dana Reed
third.

Carey Martin carried a
slim five point lead in the PASS
Sportsman standings to the season
finale, and the 2009 series champ
did exactly what he need to do.
Martin won his heat race and
dominated the 75 lap feature to put
an exclamation point on his second
PASS title. Craig Smith took the
second spot from Clyde Hennessy with
11 to go; Frank Wear and Rusty
Poland rounded out the top five.

The Wildcat/Strictly Stock fifty
lap Open was a wild affair dominated
by Leeds racer Kurt Hewins. Corey
Morgan ran up front all day and
raced home second with Chris Warming
third.

All three PASS North
touring series will celebrate the
season on Friday evening November 4
at the Howard Johnson's Convention
Center in Portland Maine. Drivers,
team members, sponsors and fans are
all welcome to join in the
festivities. All the details and a
